Toyota Vellfire (left), MG M9 (right)JSW MG M9 Presidential Limousine has been launched in India for an attractive price point of Rs 69.9 lakh (Ex-sh). Where on-road price is concerned, MG M9 undercuts all of its rivals in India, including the Kia Carnival. Among the luxury MPVs in India, is Toyota Vellfire, which has established itself quite well in the country.
Where pricing is concerned, Toyota Vellfire starts from Rs 1.22 Cr for Hi variant and costs Rs 1.33 Cr for top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge variant (both prices Ex-sh). In contrast, MG M9 is launched in India in just one loaded Presidential Limousine variant that costs almost half of what Vellfire does. In this post, let’s take a closer look at 10 things MG M9 offers over Toyota Vellfire.
MG M9 Size
1. Size Advantage
Toyota Vellfire is already a large vehicle with immense room on the inside. MG M9, on the other hand, is simply larger in terms of dimensions. Bringing numbers into the equation, MG M9 is 265 mm longer, 150 mm wider and has a 200 mm longer wheelbase than Vellfire. This translates to better road presence and more room on the inside.
2. Higher Ground Clearance
Not only is the MG M9 larger than Vellfire, but also has higher ground clearance. M9 has a ground clearance of 180 mm, as opposed to 160 mm of Vellfire. Both vehicles get 19-inch alloy wheels.
3. More Airbags
Toyota Vellfire offers 6 airbags even on its top-spec VIP – Executive Lounge. In contrast, MG M9 offers 7 airbags as standard.
4. Better Crash Safety Rating
Toyota Vellfire has been crash tested by JNCAP (Japanese NCAP) where the luxury MPV has scored 4 Star crash safety rating out of 5. In comparison, MG M9 has scored a full-fat 5 Star crash safety rating in ANCAP (Australian NCAP) and 5 Star crash safety rating in Euro NCAP, which is considered to be the most stringent in the world.

5. Better Ingress Into 3rd Row
In a Toyota Vellfire, the narrow interiors allow for a little passage to access 3rd row seats which is accessed by moving 2nd row seats all the way front. Cabin space in MG M9 is so immense, one can just walk between 2nd row seats, which is a much better solution.
6. Driver’s Seat Flexibility
In MG M9, driver’s seat is 12-way electrically adjustable when compared to Vellfire’s 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat. Also, both the front seats get a massaging function, which is not the case with Vellfire. In addition, there’s a driver monitoring camera in MG M9 too.
MG M9 Sunroofs
7. Proper Sunroof (s)
Toyota Vellfire gets two narrow glass roofs above both 2nd row seats which only give a tiny viewing area and they don’t open either. In comparison, MG M9 gets two sunroofs and both of them can open to let air in. First row gets a single-pane sunroof and second row gets a massive panoramic sunroof.
8. More Flexibility in 2nd Row Seats
Both MG M9 and Toyota Vellfire offer throne like experience with their 2nd row seats. In Vellfire, 2nd row seats are 8-way electrically adjustable and MG M9 offers twice that as they are 16-way electrically adjustable. Also, there are 3 memory settings for 2nd row seats of M9, where Vellfire only has 1.
MG M9 Digital IRVM
9. Better Mirrors (ORVMs, IRVM)
MG M9 offers heated ORVMs, which Vellfire lacks. Where IRVM is concerned, MG offers a digital IRVM for versatility. This IRVM has multiple settings too. These include zoom, position, brightness and saturation.
10. Self-sealing Tyres
MG M9 offers self-sealing tyres as it runs on 19-inch ContiSeal tyres that can self repair punctures to certain extent. This feature is missing on Toyota Vellfire.
MG M9 Ambient Lighting
11. Better Ambient Lighting
Toyota Vellfire has ambient lighting features too with 14 colour options. MG M9, however, takes it up a notch with a more extensive ambient lighting and offers 64 colours to choose from. More

MG Cyber X SUVBased on the teasers, it appears that one of the new MG EVs to be showcased at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed is the IM Motors IM6
At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed (10th July – 13th July), SAIC-owned MG Motor is poised to unveil several new models. Last year, the iconic British brand celebrated its 100th anniversary at the event. For upcoming 2025 Goodwood FOS (Festival Of Speed), MG will unveil 2 new EVs, along with Cyberster Black, Cyber X Concept and MG EX4. Let’s check out the details.
MG Lineup For 2025 Goodwood FOS
MG Motor will be unveiling two new EVs on 10th July, the opening day of the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, as per the teasers. While keeping the names secret, MG has mentioned that these two will be technologically advanced EVs. One of these models could be the IM Motors IM6, as seen in a recent teaser.
IM Motor IM6 Teased By MG Motor
IM Motors is a joint venture between SAIC Motor, Alibaba Group and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech. The IM6 is a rebranded version of the IM LS6 sold in the Chinese market. IM6 is also available for sale in Australia and Thailand. In Australia, IM Motors also sells a related IM5 sedan. There are plans to introduce the IM6 in more overseas markets. In Europe and South America, the IM6 could be sold under the MG brand.
Dimensionally, the IM6 SUV coupe is 4,904 mm long, 1,988 mm wide, 1,669 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. It has an attractive, curvy body panelling with expressive lighting elements and distinctive petal-shaped design for the alloy wheels.

Live performance demo on the Goodwood Hillclimb
While not naming the IM6, MG Motor has mentioned that one of the new models will demonstrate their “phenomenal EV acceleration” on the Goodwood Hillclimb. It indicates that MG Motor is likely to showcase the ‘Performance’ top variant of IM6. It has dual motors, 200 kW at front and 372 kW at the rear.
Combined power output is 778 PS and 802 Nm of torque. The IM6 Performance variant can achieve 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. It will be interesting to see if the IM6 can beat the existing Goodwood Hillclimb record of 39.08 seconds, set by Max Chilton in the McMurtry Spéirling EV in 2022.
MG Cyberster Black Teased
The Goodwood Hillclimb is not a proper racetrack, but challenges drivers with its tight bends, narrow corners and continuous incline. Along with the IM6, the MG EX4 EV will also take on the Goodwood Hillclimb. At the event, the MG EX4 EV will be presented with a fresh livery inspired by the MG Metro 6R4.
Cyberster Black and Cyber X
MG will also showcase the Cyberster Black, an electric two-seat convertible wrapped in a new deep black theme. MG Cyberster has been showcased earlier also at the Goodwood, but this time it gets an entirely new paint job. The black shade significantly enhances the Cyberster’s sporty aesthetics. Interiors too have an all-black theme for an impactful, immersive experience.
MG Cyber GTS Coupe
Joining the Cyberster will be the Cyber X concept and Cyber GTS Coupe, which was also unveiled at the 2025 Shanghai motor show. The second model under MG’s Cyber sub-brand, the Cyber X concept has boxy, rugged aesthetics. The compact SUV has a radical design, with USPs such as the eye-catching pop-up headlamps. Extremely short front and rear overhangs ensure an agile look and feel for the SUV. The Cyber X concept seems just right for urban environments.
MG Cyber X SUV
At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, MG’s main stand will also showcase other products such as the MGS5 EV and award-winning MG HS SUV. There will be an additional MG experience area, where visitors will be able to explore the high-performance MG4 EV XPower. More

MG ZS EV Facelift : Image – Bharat BhatiWith a more accessible price point, MG ZS EV presents a stronger value proposition in comparison to rival offerings
In June 2019, MG Motor had launched its first car in India – the Hector SUV. It was followed by the MG ZE EV in January 2020. As part of its 6-year anniversary celebration, JSW MG Motor has announced a special one-time limited period offer on the MG ZE EV. Let’s see how much buyers stand to save with this special anniversary offer.
MG ZS EV – New special prices
With the special anniversary offer, the base Executive variant of MG ZS EV is available at a starting price of Rs 16.75 lakh. That’s savings of Rs 13,000, as compared to the old price of Rs 16.88 lakh. The one-above base Excite Pro variant of MG ZS EV is now available at a starting price of Rs 18,49,800.

Buyers should probably approach their nearest MG Motor dealer to get more details about the offer and its end date. MG ZS EV takes on rivals such as Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, Mahindra XUV 400 EV and BYD Atto 3. With the special price offer, the top variants of MG ZS EV can witness a sales boost. As of now, MG ZS EV is ranked fourth in MG car sales.

In the future, MG will introduce multiple new models in India. It includes the MG S5, MG Cyberster and MG M9. More

New MG Electric SUV Design PatentedMG Motor has been launching its electric offensive worldwide. The company has already emerged as a potent electric car manufacturer across multiple markets. Now, MG is working on big guns that will potentially rival high-volume electric SUVs like Tesla Model Y and BYD Sealion 7. Design patents of the same have leaked online. Let’s take a closer look.
New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
SAIC Motor, the parent company of MG Motor, has just filed a design patent of their upcoming electric SUV in Australia. Looking at these leaked design patents, it looks like an enlarged version of MG S5 SUV, but to rival larger vehicles like the Tesla Model Y and BYD’s Sealion 7, which is already launched in India.
New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
Where design is concerned, it looks a lot like the MG S5 SUV and could take S6 or S7 name, when launched. We have a sharp design with a large MG logo in the middle of its fascia. Sleek and striking headlights, LED DRL elements, bumper creases along with the contoured closed-off grille look rather nice.
At the sides, we get conventional door handles, large alloy wheels, sophisticated silhouette with large window area and large rear doors. At the rear, we get connected wrap-around LED tail lights, extended roof spoiler, sporty rear bumper along with rear windshield wiper. There are stylish faux roof rails too, suggesting it will be a premium product.
New MG Electric SUV Design Patented
What to expect?
Notably, this new MG electric SUV is likely to be a ground-up MG vehicle and not a rebadged vehicle from its sister brands within SAIC Motor’s umbrella. It is said to be underpinned by the same MSP (Modular Scalable Platform) electric car architecture with MG 4, Cyberster sports car and others.
Interior details and powertrain details of this upcoming MG electric SUV are not known yet. When launched, it is expected to be a mid-size SUV rivalling the likes of Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5 and Volkswagen ID4. There are no official announcements for a launch in India. However, a mid-size premium electric SUV from MG to rival the upcoming Tesla Model Y and recently BYD Sealion 7 does not seem like a bad idea.
